We are constantly seeking to improve and enhance the Websites and App and, unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Websites shall be subject to the TOU. You understand and agree that the Websites and App are provided “AS-IS” and that CREDO assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

Please be aware that to sign up for certain CREDO services, including but not limited to telecommunications, energy, and CREDO Connect services, you must be at least 18 years of age and must meet any stated sign-up criteria.

You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that CREDO provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

5. PERMISSION TO CALL/TEXT

By signing up for Credo Mobile Service through the Sites or by opting in to any of our optional offers and activism opportunities contact lists, you give express permission for us to contact you on your device. Message and data rates may apply if your device is not using CREDO Mobile service. Text “stop” to any promotional or list text to opt out of non-account-related SMS communications from us.

6. ACCOUNT SECURITY

On selected CREDO Websites and on the App, you will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Website’s or App’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify CREDO of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. CREDO cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 6.

Whenever CREDO handles information that you enter on our Sites or on the App, regardless of where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, CREDO cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
